What is an Array in java with example

Array is collection of similar kind of data. Array in java is index based , first element of the array is stored at 0 index.

## Benefits (Advantages) of array

1.  Code Optimization
2.  Performance increase

Disadvantage Disadvantage of array is "size limit ".

Types of array:

1. Single Dimensional Array 
2. Multidimensional Array

Many types of syntax to declared in array:

1. dataType[] arr; (or)  
2. dataType []arr; (or)  
3. dataType arr[];  

1 Example of single Dimensional array

/**

 */

class ArrayDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        /*int marks[]=new int[5];

        marks[0]=33;

        marks[1]=65;

        marks[2]=69;

        marks[3]=78;

        marks[4]=86;

        * */

        //int marks[]=new int[]{33,65,69,78,86};

        int marks[]={33,65,69,78,86};

        for(int i=0;i<5;i++)

        {

            System.out.println("print marks:"+marks[i]);

        }

    }

    

}

2. Example of MultiDimensional array

/**

 *

 * @author pradeep

 */

class MultiDimensionalArray{  

public static void main(String args[]){  

  

//declaring and initializing 2D array  

int array[][]={{6,7,8},{4,6,8},{3,6,9}};  

  

//printing 2D array  

for(int i=0;i<3;i++){  

 for(int j=0;j<3;j++){  

   System.out.print("Multi Dimensional Array" +array[i][j]+" ");  

 }  

 System.out.println();  

}  

  

}}  

Result: Output of this result is:

run:

Multi Dimensional Array6 Multi Dimensional Array7 Multi Dimensional Array8 

Multi Dimensional Array4 Multi Dimensional Array6 Multi Dimensional Array8 

Multi Dimensional Array3 Multi Dimensional Array6 Multi Dimensional Array9
